It’s been a long time since I have posted something here. The reasons being manifold but as they say “Better Late than Never”

It’s been long since I was tagged by someone. The reasons, once again, could be manifold But thanks to Kamikaze, the jinx is broken and I take this opportunity to come out of my so called “Vanvaas” from the blogging world.

Moving straight away to the tag. First things first, let’s have a look at the rules, which are pretty simple (unlike the task that follows).

Tag rules :

1. You must post the rules.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you’ve tagged.
3. Tag eleven people and link to them on your post.
4. Let them know you’ve tagged them!

One Boy vs Eleven Questions :

1. What is your favorite cartoon character and how do you relate its traits to real life?

Wow. That’s tricky. My favorite cartoon character has always been Scooby Doo, but I am unsure how could I relate his traits to mine. Had I been a dog, it would have been very simple, but unfortunately I was born a Homo Sapien.

He sniffs, he eats like anything and he is as coward as it could get. All these characteristics, in one or the other way, reminds me of some of my friends, whose names I would not wish to take on this public platform

But at the same time he is extremely lucky and this is one trait that I am proud to share with him. He encounters ghosts every now and then and so do I, in libraries, classrooms and any sensible place I set my foot upon. He is tall, smart and has a great sense of humor and apart from being a dog, he has everything one would wish to have (including Daphne, of course )

2. What attachment do you think can keep you from salvation?

This one is a sitter . Attachment or no attachment, I am cent percent sure that I can never achieve salvation. Further, I tend to build very strong attachments with those who are close to my heart, and I would always go for them instead of salvation. Let’s face it. Salvation sounds boring. Evil doesn’t

3. Name one character from books/movies that you admired and why.

As soon as I saw this question, only one name struck my mind >> BATMAN. Just because of the sheer charisma that he possesses, his style, his attitude, his confidence, every bit of him imbibes within me admiration for him.

4. If you were to write a book with you as the lead, what would be the genre of the book?

Seedhi Baat No Bakwaas. I would write Harry Potter with me playing the role of Lord Voldemort. Andhera Kaayam Rahe

5. Which language do you think in and how does it help?

When I am happy I think in Hindi. And when I am sad or angry, I think in English. Somehow Hindi amplifies my happiness and English does the other way round. Draamebaazi

6. If you are new to a niche group, for example a seminar on a technology you have no clue about and everybody except you seems comfortable with the jargon, how do you try and fit in? You act smugly confident or intelligently curious?

Trust me when I say this. I am a born liar and King of Deception. I am so good in this that I can even convince Newton that it was a monkey who threw that damn apple at him (Sad that neither Newton nor that monkey is alive anymore). To sum up, fitting in such a situation is just like a walk in the park

7. Name one quality of yours you admire without a tinge of narcissism.

I am tooooooooooooo humble ^_^ (I say this with NIL narcissism and a lot of sarcasm )

8. What is one faux pas you would never want to make? And are most susceptible to making!

Pass Pass Pass. I didn’t get this question. If you did, then please answer this question on my behalf

9. Umm…tell me a joke

A lot of them are coming to my mind right now, but once again, can’t tell them on this public platform

10. What is the accomplishment you are most proud of as a person?

Hmmnnn… I have done a lot of things and have failed a multiple times too. I was good with people those were a part of my life and not so good with a few too. Many a times I put others before myself and many a times I don’t. But amidst all these, the one factor that really makes me proud that I have managed to be the same as I was a few years back. Circumstances caught hold of me at times, but I managed to come out of the same without changing myself. And this is one accomplishment that I wish to redo again and again and again

P.S. Those who think otherwise GTFO

11. This is a cliched one. Tell us a hobby/sport that most people don’t know you’re good at.

The poet inside me is still hidden from all. I write poems but don’t publish it because they are way too personal. Rest of the queries regarding the same will be taken offline

Now when the tag is done, I am supposed to tag 11 people. But I see that most of the people have already done this tag plus I am toooo lazy to proceed with the rules. So anyone who wishes to take up this tag, you are most welcome to do so. Enjoy doing this tag

Well don’t go by the title and take me for one self obsessed brat (that doesn’t mean that I am not one ) … The reason behind this “can” be attributed to this tag which I have picked up from Scorpria. Here I am doing a tag after a pretty long time, so please bear with me.

So here are the rules:

1. Every phrase needs to be completed with three answers about yourself

2. That’s it. Oh…post it an tell a few people, so they’ll know they’re in for some laughs

I am

• an illusionist, who could force you to believe in things you won’t ever believe that you believed in   … Believe me
• a bonafide example and proof of the very old and awesome saying “LOOKS CAN BE DECEPTIVE” … For more information on the topic and to undergo a course to attain the skills contact me, with a DD of Rs 5375/- (Tuition fee ofcourse .. I ain’t teaching you for free … No references would be entertained either … chk chk chk ) …
• a free bird, the flight of which is unperturbed by any expectation, any fear or any expectation … A bird which sees its destination … A bird with a belief … A belief that it will land at its destination one day or the other ….

I want

• to teach my buddies the secret behind my awesome time management and the secret behind my ability to sleep and wake up at will … Have I told you all that I can do with sleeping hours of anything between 0 to 24 hrs a day (that too without coffee, without the fear of some scary thing hiding under my bed … even without a girlfriend ) … Awesome isn’t it??? … (Now don’t come running to me with a hope that I would share this secret with you … Not without that DD of course ) …
• to see a world free from all types of hypocrites and stereotypes … Few awful people I see everywhere I tell you :@ :@
• to hack all the accounts of Mark Zuckenberg …

I have

• a brain full of all types of weird plans and ideas ( most of them destructive … but lucrative, nonetheless) …
• a heart of gold ( thank you thank you … I am very humble … no more claps please )
• a sense of humor people envy me for … (Did I tell you all that I am not a Bond when it comes to humility ?? )

I wish

• I had the power to be able to teleport … Can’t tell you how much I feel like to be at a certain place at times … But this materialistic body and the constraints of gravitational, electrical and magnetic forces constraint my soul from wondering into alien places ….
• I could play around with that tennis ball with same elegance and perfection as the great Fedex does …
• I never change … Seriously I wish so … Can’t let this world to be at so much of a loss …

I hate

• People who are so fond of spreading negativity … These guys are so frustrated with their life that they are always on a try to derail others … grrrrr
• the feeling when you say goodbye to someone and you are not sure when and where you are going to see …
• the sound of the alarm clock … Show me one person in this world who is at ease with this sound… Come on tell me if there is one .. :@ :@ :@

I fear

• getting my account hacked by some stupid muggle …
• a heartbreak … nothing could be worse than this … ( a heartbreak should not be just restricted to a romantic one … there is a whole lot of dimension to it )
• doing something really embarrassing amidst a crowd which holds you in a high position … …

I hear

• voices all around … voices saying that there are dumb people around …
• the tantrums being thrown by my heart and brain .. which, like every loving couple, are in continuous fight with each other …
• the spirit within me … which is continuously propelling me forward … to do what I believe in … to do what I strive for … to do what is right …

I search

• for the right place … and the right time … ( I know you must have started your permutations and combinations )
• for any possible way by which I could bring smile on my loved ones … and for any possible way in which I could inflict sufferings on the ones I hate …. Dosto se Pyaar Kiya … Dushmano se Badla liyaaa … jo bhi kiyaa humne kiyaaaa .. Shaaannn seeee B-)
• for that special message from that special someone which could bring a smile on your face when you need it the most …

I wonder

• how could some people be so so two faced …
• how could people possibly lick their elbow …. :O :O ….
• how could you possibly try to lick yours … Hahahaah … caught ya ..

I regret

• making that one and only mistake which left a regret in my life … grrrr …
• the fact that I don’t have any more regret ( which means I won’t be able to complete these three points )
• mentioning the first point ( in absence of which I could have proclaimed myself Mr. Purrrfffcccttt )

I love

• each and every person that has made my life so wonderful …Love you fellas
• the smell of the Earth when first drop of rain touches its surface ….
• the sound with which the waves strike the beach … so energetic and so calm at the same time … In awe of the power of that moon which directs all the proceedings … precision that could not be matched for …

I always

• wake up early in the morning …
• attend all the classes …
• crack jokes like I just did …

I ache

• when someone approaches me for help, with expectation, and I am not able to lend a helping hand …
• the day when my buddies celebrate the day I was born … my birthday … ouuchhh … it really hurts
• when I think about that doomed day when fate somehow trapped me and led me to watch that shit called “Dronaaa” … yucckkkkkk :@ :@

I usually

• like to sit back and relaxxx ….
• wonder at times how long a tag could possibly stretch to …
• cut down on the tag when I start getting bored … like I am going to do right now … lolzzz .. Here goes rest of the tag …

 

That’s it folks from my side … Anyone wish to take up this version of tag can pick it up from here … Others can take up the full version from Scorpria’s blog … …

P.S. The DD (Demand Draft) should be payable at Mumbai. Thanks

 

 

I haven’t been very proactive of late by any means ,  in the cyber world . This absence was not very intentional though , thanks to the wi-fi router of my hostel … duh … The parties responsible for this will surely be severely dealt with once I return back . In the process , I realized that I can actually live without internet too . Its not like the same harsh a year back , who would get utterly tensed even if the browsing speed flickered by even a bit per second . Anyways I am back now , although unsure for how long .

A dumb tag was waiting for me here in blogosphere , thanks to Avada . As the name  suggests , the tag is meant to calculate your dumbness on a scale of 1 to 100 . Lets see how it works out for me .
